Preparation and positioning for a intraoral radiograph

Detailed operation may slightly vary among different types of image detector (film or
electronic sensor). Instructions for using and positioning the detector in the mouth are
normally provided with the detector itself. In the following instructions it is assumed that a
conventional x-ray film is being used, unless otherwise specified.
Seat the patient on a dental chair, or any other accommodation providing appropriate support
for the head, and tilt his or her head to the proper inclination. Always position the patient with
the sagittal plane vertical. For upper jaw exposure, place the upper occlusal plane horizontal.
For lower jaw exposures, place the lower occlusal plane horizontal.
Set the required exposure time on the timer. Refer to the next chapters for operation of the
dental timer and selection of the proper exposure time.
